dc.abstract.enPurpose: The main aim of this article is to compare the official revenues from agritourism and their determinants for Italian and Polish farms. It answers the following questions: How significant were agritourism revenues related to farm net income for farms in Italy and Poland in 2004-2022? How much does the size of the farm (measured by economic size) affect the revenues from agritourism? What is the relationship between Italian and Polish agritourism revenues and other production, economic and financial categories, and do the results for these two countries differ? Design/Methodology/Approach: The research is based on data for Italian and Polish farms from the FADN (RICA) database. We used all available data from the years 2004-2022. The panel data models are estimated. Findings: Revenues from agritourism are not high according to official data but depend on the economic size of the farm. After conducting panel regression, it turns out that the revenues from agritourism in Italy depend on the utilised agricultural areas and subsidies. However, in Poland, they depend on the total output and inputs. The models are distorted because agritourism farms do not show complete revenues from agritourism. It should be assumed that most of these revenues are non-invoiced. Practical Implications: The official revenues from agritourism is not a significant source of income for farms in Italy and in Poland. The practical implications provide actionable insights for policymakers, farmers, and rural development organizations, emphasizing the potential of agritourism to support economic sustainability in rural areas. Originality/Value: Our article makes several significant contributions to the literature on agritourism, especially in the context of Poland and Italy. Our article provides a unique comparative analysis between two countries with different approaches to agritourism regulation. In doing so, it shows the impact of regulatory and cultural diversity on income from this activity. This is a valuable contribution, as it allows us to understand how different legal systems and state support can shape the scope and potential of agritourism as a source of income. The article analyses the impact of factors such as the economic size of the farm, subsidies, total farm product and agricultural area on agritourism income. We have identified revenue underestimation, which shows the problem of under-registration of revenues from agritourism, especially in Poland.
